The dipole moment of a molecule is calculated using the formula:Dipole moment    = Charge  Q   Bond length  d For hydrogen fluoride  HF , the bond length  d  is approximately 0.92   9.2  10^-11 m  and the charge difference  Q  between hydrogen and fluorine is approximately 0.42 e  elementary charge , where 1 e is equal to 1.602  10^-19 C  Coulombs .Now, we can calculate the dipole moment: = Q  d =  0.42 e    9.2  10^-11 m To convert the elementary charge to Coulombs: =  0.42  1.602  10^-19 C    9.2  10^-11 m   6.73  10^-30 CmSo, the dipole moment of hydrogen fluoride  HF  molecule is approximately 6.73  10^-30 Cm.
